I found tonights game much more enjoyable then there last meeting
:yes: Flyersfan Jen

You've got that right, Jen. :yes::respect: Come to think of it flipping a coin might be a better way. That way they could finish the game without all the foolishness and time wasting that accompanies a shootout.

Yesterday was good news for me, Montreal beat San Jose 3 -1, and for shadows as Toronto beat Boston 3 - 2, albeit in a shootout. It was not good news for smc as Boston did lose. Stupid damned overtime and shootouts in the regular season shouldn't be allowed.

We seem to be missing our score updates so tonight the Flyers beat the Islanders 3-2 so chalk up another win for the Flyers
:yes: :) Flyersfan Jen

Possible new Coyotes owner Hulsizer talks to media.
 

So it looks like the Coyotes could remain in Phoenix. :frown: :frown: :frown: And that's gonna annoy some hockey fans here.


Following article by Shawn P. Roarke - NHL.com Senior Managing Editor:

^ This whole mess has been one big crock of shit since Day 1. Phoenix is not a hockey city. Any team there will be a money losing proposition.

Devils 1-2 Penguins
 

:frown: Well it was obvious the Devils would be unable to stop the Penguins winning their 10th consecutive game.

I'm just surprised by the narrow margin of the defeat and that we were in front for a whole 81 seconds in the first period.:innocent:

I am flabbergasted. Toronto came back from a 4-1 deficit and ended up beating Washington 5-4 in the shootout. In the shootout! Toronto won two games in a row, both via the shootout. All right, who is this team and what did they do with the Leafs that never won in the shootout...actually never mind. I prefer the team that CAN win in the shootout.;)

Other valid scores:

Pittsburgh beat New Jersey 2-1. After their little bit of a hot streak the Devils are having difficulty scoring goals again. Just think dauls, Toronto gets to face Pittsburgh next. *gulp!*:eek:

It looks like we have a couple of San Jose fans here, so I will place their score here as well.

San Jose beat Detroit 5-2. Thornton got only his 7th goal of the season. I remember when he used to be considered an elite goal scorer. I wonder what caused the change?

Hell of a game. Sharks played absolutely terrible for the first 12 minutes. Amazing keeping kept us in it. All very scary Detroit in the first, except for a shortie by Thornton. Lots of PK. Detroit had some SICK, totally undefensible plays.

All Sharks from there with 4 unanswered, to make only the 6th time we've won in Joe Louis.

Thornton looks to pass first. He's typically near the top of the assist leaderboard. If wingers aren't options, because they aren't scoring, that shuts Jumbo down. Marleau is struggling this year and got bumped to the third line for this game. Heatley has picked up in the past few games, but our best players of the season have been Ryane Clowe and two rookies Logan Couture (2 goals tonight) and Benn Ferrio.

Jumbo suffers the same flat and inconsistent play that the whole team is under. We're in the basement (a shallow one) of our division. That's just not right. They didn't all show up for Montreal (not to take anything from an

I hope this kind of win tonight :heart: can start changing things. Next to go down. Philly!

Congrats to the leafs for tonight. I like a comeback. That spin-around move on the shootout was crazy!

-K

I'll take your word for it being a great game. I haven't seen a Sharks Game in weeks. Comcast and Dish Network are having a pissing match, so no Comcast California.

I heard about this :censored:.

That's a good excuse to go to the pub though! :)

That was a tough way for Philly to lose. That shot with the puck ON the line with "0.0" left was pretty memorable. You'll never see a closer finish. Sharks have had a couple of those 3rd period collapses this year, so it was good to be on the other side of one for a change.

You can see Pronger has played the Sharks before. He had a great game. It was good to see Jody Shelley again too, but I'm glad there was no trouble. He was very well liked by players and fans out here (unlike Pronger :-).

Devils 2-3 Senators
 

Hosting the Devils, an ideal way for Ottawa end a 4-game losing streak. :frown:

The Devils have now lost 4 in a row (and that's 7 straight losses on the road). :frown:

Devils 1-4 Red Wings
 

Saturday night, it was the Devils 5th consecutive loss. :frown: At least the Islanders are matching us loss for loss.

We were 2-0 behind after only 102 seconds. :frown:

We outshot the Red Wings 34-23, our goals to shots ratio is woeful. :(

This is the longest season.

getting beat by the RedWings isn't as bad as being beat by the Sharks as the Flyers were a few games back
:eek: Flyersfan Jen

Holy crap did anyone see the Rangers destory the Captials 7- zip talk about a beating
:eek: :eek: Flyersfan Jen

Speaking of taking a beating, Ovechkin got into a fight.;)

Guess he has decided to go medevil until he can get back to putting the biscut in the basket as he's been in a goal drought of late
Had a great time at the Flyers- Pens game
:yes: Flyersfan Jen

Glad to hear you had a great time!:)

They are really rolling right now. They also appear to have taken Pittsburgh off their game, as they lost 4-1 to the Rangers and now have a 2-game losing streak.;)

Devils 3-0 Coyotes
 

The Devils break their 5-game losing streak.

Phoenix has proven they don't deserve an NHL team after getting 'thrashed' by the Devils. ;)

Brodeur has somehow claimed his third shutout of the season.

Ilya Kovalchuk scores two goals :eek: his first multi-goal game as a Devil (61 games).

Nice to see that Toronto decided to play like crap tonight! Why did they even bother to show up? Disgusting. They lost 5-2 to Calgary and were outshot 33-19. Pathetic, just pathetic.

Sounds like you need a big hug :hug:
:yes: Flyersfan Jen

Thank you Jennifer. A hug was just what I needed.:hug:

Devils 1-3 Predators
 

Once again the Devils winning streak is ended at 1. :rolleyes: :frown:

In a game with a season-low Devils shot count of 16 (to the Predators 20).

OK crank up the radio

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XELpxApT8Kc
as it's time for me to do my happy dance as my Flyers kicked the Rangers butt 4 to 1
Yeah oh yeah
:yes: Flyersfan Jen

Toronto's lack of offense reared it's ugly head again.:( Could I please have another hug, Jennifer?

I think the only reason that you're a Toronto fan is so that Jennifer will keep hugging you. ;):lol::innocent: I can't really fault you for that, though.

It has to be that or something else completely unrelated to hockey, because there is no rational hockey-specific explanation. :yes:

A very true statement.:lol:

Devils 1-7 Thrashers
 

If supporting the Leafs is irrational, what does that say about supporting the Devils. :blush: :(

Saturday night, we were aptly thrashed by Atlanta - and they scored 7 goals on only 22 shots, including Eric Boulton's first career hat-trick. :frown:

Toronto has been on a longer losing streak than New Jersey.

Come to think of it, if supporting the Leafs is irrational does that mean that the fans get pi?:innocent:

Note that in my post about supporting the Leafs I wrote "no rational hockey-related explanation." There could be a rational explanation that is not related to hockey ... although I'm having a helluva time trying to think of one. ;)

OK here you go :hug:
i think people are starting to talk
:yes: Flyersfan Jen

looks like someone else needs a hug :hug:
:yes: Flyersfan Jen

:blush: Thanks, but can you now find a New Jersey a hockey team? It needs one. :yes:

Sorry but they play in North Jersey and i live in South Jersey

:eek: Flyersfan Jen

Thanks Jennifer.:)

And the only reason they are talking is that they are jealous.;):yes:

Here are the scores from Dec. 19th's games:

1. Dallas beat Detroit 4-3 in overtime. I believe we have a Dallas fan here but I cannot recall who it is as they have not been in this thread in quite a while.

2. Chicago beat LA 3-2.

3. In a bit of bad news for our resident bear, Colorado beat Montreal 3-2. Montreal is stumbling along before Christmas, going 5-4-1 in their last 10 games.

4. Washington beat Ottawa 3-2. Even with this win(and I am glad, as it meant Ottawa lost;)) Washington is still 7 points behind Philadelphia for first in the Eastern Conference!

:frown: Now i need a hug as yhe Flyers lost 5-zip to the Panthers, a team in the damn NASCAR divison now i'm really depressed

:frown: Flyersfan Jen

Sorry, Jen. Here's your hug :hug:.

I will give you a hug as well.:hug:

However, I think there will probably be a hugging clinic going on tonight, as it was not pretty for any of our teams!

1. Atlanta beat Toronto 6-3. Ugly, just ugly!

2. Florida beat Philadelphia 5-0. I will honestly admit that I am surprised by this score! I guess Philly got into the spiked eggnog a tad early as the Christmas break doesn't start for a few days yet.

3. Anaheim beat Boston 3-0. Out of these three games Boston was the only one that truly could have won the game had they not run into a goaltending clinic run by Hiller. He stopped 45 shots for the shutout(while Boston only gave up 25 shots).

One thing that made me happy tonight was the fact that Sidney Crosby got three more points(1 goal, 2 assists) en route to his 21 game points streak. 21 straight games with a point, that is pretty impressive! Ovechkin who?;)

OK lets all get together and have a case of Molsen and lots of hugs
:yes: Flyersfan Jen

OK Crosby is very good but i still think Wayne Gretzky was better

:yes: Flyersfan Jen

I can't honestly compare them until Crosby has a few more seasons under his belt. If he can keep the pace he is on right now, he should be a lock for the Hall Of Fame years down the road. Who knows? By then, he could surpass Wayne Gretzky. You never know!:)

(And don't get me wrong, Gretzky was AWESOME...just not as the Coach of the Coyotes.;))

I won't bring any Molsen's but I'll bring some Rickard's Red for us all.:yes:

I definitely agree with you, Jen. I also think that Gretzky had and has more personality than Crosby

Both brands work for me.

Crosby is the latest phenom that comes around every once in awhile like Bobby Orr,Mike Bossy, Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemiux
but before we crown him let's see where he is after ten years, the above played great year after year over a long period of time a lot of players string together some great season then fizzle out
I have nothing agianst Crosby i like him and he is the top player today
Bobby Clarke got me watching hockey when i was a kid, Mike Bossy got me to really like the game and Wayne Gretzky made me a fan for life
:yes: Flyersfan Jen

Sorry never heard of Richards Red, but then it might not be sold here in the US

:yes: Flyersfan Jen

I agree with you 100%(hence my earlier post:)). As other players have shown in the past(and not just in hockey either) one or two stellar seasons does not make one a Hall of Fame possibility.

I also disagree a little with what Ila said about his personality. I think that he has improved in this area and that he has become more mature(even if it by small increments) than he was when he first joined the NHL.
